Omegle

Introduction

Omegle is not a platform for children, however many use it or appealed by the anonymity it offers. The site pairs strangers together to chat or call one another, and many strangers may say or send sexually explicit content. There is no way for Omegle to monitor the age or identity of users, and it may expose your child to inappropriate content. The anonymity factor may encourage strangers or your child to send messages or say things that they wouldn't usually. It may become dangerous if your child discloses personal information to a stranger, such as their address, their school, or other personal information. When you go onto Omegle, a warning appears on their site stating that predators have been known to use the platform.
